During install it will ask you which version of Windows 7 to install and if you pick the version that matches your OEM key, it should work.

10.10 is as far as I'll go with Ubuntu. I've tried the Unity interface and hated it. While it was a beta version when I tried, it sucked terribly both in performance and layout.

The next install for me is a version of Mint, hopefully with gnome 3/shell. From what I've seen, gnome 3/shell by default is setup exactly like my netbook currently is after my personal "additions" (small toolbar, gnome-do, etc etc).

I have gotten myself a 1015PN and it is awesome, BUT im just missing ONE thing, i cannot play 1080p video (locally not youtube) and i can just play 720p, the problem seems to be that the ION2 will not go to full speed, i can see that it only uses performance mode 0,1 but never 2, and this would make a difference cause of the MUCH higher speeds, now i have not tested win7 cause that would be a very limited OS for me (using ubuntu 10.10, 32Bit), i have tried 10.10 32/64Bit and i just can't seem to get to the 1080p level...

The issue (I think) is video decoding is going on in software on linux, NOT via the fancy GPU.

You can try the new VLC, which has the option to do decoding in the GPU, but this is something I struggled with as well....even on my new Lenovo x120e...I have just given up on playing full screen HD video on a Linux netbook.

Well got 1080p working, pretty simple fix, i ONLY use mplayer, i have it set up more AWESOMELY then any other player and i have tried pretty much all of them.

The FIX:
Added ppa of dayly builds, since i found out that newer supported multi-thread, then i added the 4x threads to my config and 1080p is just running and running VERY good i might add.

To those that think that it is irrelevant to could play 1080p, remember that the 1015 has HDMI out and i tested this just now, i used desperate X, giving me a full Desktop on my 27" FullHD screen, and it just works, set the RES to 1920x1080 and it just blasts 1080p Video's, i have unfortunately not tested HDMI audio out since my 27 is a PC screen and does not have speakers... But first chance i get i will test it on a screen at a freinds house, and post results here

NOW, the last thing i need from my 1015PN is to be able to use Performance Level 2 (third level) so the ION2 is running top speed, this should give some extra performance in games, games are running pretty ok, minecraft gets 20-35fps.
And this is the absolutely last thing i need, this is seriously one sweet netbook.
